Family Get-Together

We had a really fun extended weekend spending time with all of Dave's family. All of his siblings, sister-in-law, nephew, grandma, and cousin were in town. It was a wonderful time getting to all be together and we really enjoyed ourselves. I didn't do a very good job at getting pictures of Benjamin with everyone, but I did get some good ones of him. Here's a few from our fun time!

On our first full day we went to the Louisville Slugger Museum and the Muhammad Ali Museum. We also went to the Falls of the Ohio, but I forgot my camera that day. Benjamin really enjoyed that too!

Here's outside the bat factory:


Benjamin and Dave running the bases. They also had an exhibit that showed how fast different pitchers threw by having a ball come out at that speed and hit a fake catcher. It was kind of crazy, but Benjamin loved it and even cried when we left it (after about 30 minutes of letting him watch it!!!).


Benjamin had fun playing with his little bat. He did really good with it and didn't swing it at anyone or anything. He just had fun holding all of them!


Daddy love!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



Cousin Time! Benjamin was cute with Jack. He would point to him and say baby when he was far away and even said "Jack" a few times. But whenever we got him close to him he would freeze up and didn't want to touch him. I finally got him to give him some kisses when Jack was going to bed. But he never got used to me or Dave holding him and would cry for us when he had him. Should be fun when Anna gets here! :) Here he is running away from him!!!!

Dave spending some time with his nephew!

We really had a wonderful time! We even got a chance to spend a day with my family which was really nice! It was great seeing Benjamin interact with all his family. He's really started to love being with everyone and just loves going from person to person! He has started saying names too. He has called me Mama and Dave Daddy for awhile and he's been calling our parents 'anpa (grandpa) and 'anma (grandma) for a couple weeks. Now though he was saying others names, which was really cute! He's such a sweet little guy and we are so enjoying watching him grow and learn!!!! Thanks everyone for a great weekend! We miss you!
